E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] _________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Single phase DC/AC power conversion is necessary for distributed energy resources. In the conventional system, the DC/AC power conversion is done with cuk derived inverter with single DC source. In order to interface more than single dc source with DC/AC power conversion system, a multi string high step up boost converter with five level inverter is proposed. Instead of using two converters such as fly-back and cuk converter, a simple boost converter and instead of using conventional full bridge inverter, a five level inverter with six power switches are introduced to improve the power conversion. The five level inverter is operated with reduced voltage stress, switching loss and harmonics. MATLAB simulation validates the performance of the proposed system.

INTRODUCTION Nowadays, Distributed Generation (DG) technologies are increasing because of its environment friendly technology. Distributed Generation has advantages as less impact on global warming; In particular, DG resources such as photovoltaic, wind energy system and fuel cell systems have been widely promoted and deployed in many countries. These DG systems are used either to deliver electrical power to the utility grid or used as stand-alone power supplies in remote area. Solar cells or fuel cells, batteries, and ultra capacitors are low-voltage dc sources, hence, a high voltage gain dc/ac power conversion interface is essential and many dc/ac converter topologies have been proposed and reviewed recently. Naturally, the simplest way of solution is to use a high turn-ratio isolation transformer. However, this will induce both voltage/current spikes and rather high losses due to the existence of leakage inductance. A fly back-type auxiliary circuit is integrated with an isolated Cuk-derived voltage source inverter to achieve a much higher voltage conversion ratio. Due to the capacitive voltage dividing, the dc-side switch voltage stress can be reduced, and lower voltage rating devices can be used to further reduce both switching and conduction losses. The proposed multi string five level inverter achieves a much higher voltage gain than the conventional system. In this paper, the converter switching losses and conduction losses will be reduced. First, a review of conventional single stage DC/AC converter with single dc source is given in Section II. The topology of high step up converter stage is explained in Section II. The topology and operation principle of the proposed multi string five level inverter are presented in Section III. In Section IV, some simulation results are also given. Finally, conclusions are offered in the last section. II.

Here, the system is operated with single dc source. The 30v dc input voltage is supplied to cuk derived inverter. In this system, the dc voltage obtained from cuk derived converter 230V is applied to the full bridge inverter then 230V ac is given to the R load with 500 ohm. The switching voltage 230V appears across two pair of switches S1, S5 and S2, S4. The voltage stress is high.

High Step Up Converter Stage The coupled inductor of the high step-up converter in Fig. 2 can be assumed as an ideal transformer. The voltage of the primary winding can be derived as VPri = Vin (D/ 1-D) 1 Where Vpri represents the primary voltage, and Vin represents input voltage supplied to the converter stage, and D denotes the duty ratio. In this paper, a high step-up converter topology is introduced to boost and stabilize the output dc voltage of various DERs such as PV and fuel cell modules el inverter. The high step-up converter is shown in Fig. 2, and is composed of different converter topologies: boost, flyback, and a charge-pump circuit. Figure 2: high step up converter B. Five level inverter This paper presents a multi string five level inverter for DERs application. The multi string five level inverter shown in Fig.3 is used to interface strings is interfaced with their own dc/dc converter to a common inverter. This centralized system is beneficial because each string can be controlled individually. This topology configuration consists of two high step-up dc/dc converters connected to their individual dc-bus capacitor and a simplified five level inverter. Input sources, DER module 1, and DER module 2 are connected to the inverter followed a linear resistive load through the high step-up dc/dc converters. It offers strong advantages such as improved output waveforms, and reduced THD. It should be noted that, by using the independent voltage regulation control of the individual dc-dc converter, voltage balance control for the two bus capacitors Cdc1, Cdc2 can be achieved naturally. 139 International Journal of Renewable Energy Technology Research Vol. 2, No. 4, April 2013, PP: 138 - 143, ISSN: 2325-3924 (Online) Available online www.ijretr.org The switching function is defined as follows: Sj= 1, switch is on, 0, switch is off. Where j=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The operation modes of five level inverter are described as follows. 1. Maximum positive output voltage 2Vs: Switches S1, S4, S6 are on. The voltage applied to the load is +2Vs. 2. Half level positive output Vs: the output voltage can be obtained by two different switching combinations. In the first combination, S2, S3, S4 are on. In the other combination, the active switches S1, S2, S6. The output voltage supplied to the load is +Vs. 3. Zero ouput 0: This output condition can be formed by either of the two switching structures. If the left or right switching leg is on, the load terminal will be short circuited. And the voltage applied to the load terminal is zero. 4. Half level negative output Vs: The output voltage can be obtained by two different switching combinations. In the first combination, active switches S1, S5, S6 are on. In the other combination, the active switches S3, S4, S5. The output voltage supplied to the load is -Vs. 5. Maximum positive output voltage 2Vs: during this stage, active power switches S1, S4, S6 are on. The voltage applied to the load is -2Vs. In these operations, it can be observed that the open voltage stress of the active power switches S1 , S3 , S4 , and S6 is equal to input voltage VS ; moreover, the main active switches S2 and S5 are operated at the line frequency. Hence, the resulting switching losses of the new topology are reduced naturally, and the overall conversion efficiency is improved. To verify the feasibility of the single-phase five-level inverter, a widely used software program MATLAB is applied to simulate the circuit according to the previously mentioned operation principle. The control signal block is shown in Fig. 3; m(t) is the sinusoidal modulation signal. Both Vtri1 and Vtri2 are the two triangular carrier signals. The peak value and frequency of the sinusoidal modulation signal are given as mpeak = 0.8 and fm = 50 Hz, respectively. The peak-topeak value of the triangular modulation signal is equal to 1, and the switching frequency ftri1 and ftri2 are both given as 1.5 kHz. The two input voltage sources with 17V are feeding from the high step-up converter is controlled at 115 V, i.e. Vs1 = Vs2 = 115 V. The simulated waveform of the phase voltage with five levels is shown in Fig. 7. The switch voltages of S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6 are all shown in Fig. 6. It is evident that the voltage stresses of the switches S1 , S2 , S4 , and S6 are all equal to 115 V, and only the other two switches S2 , S5 must be 230 V voltage stress. The high switching frequency of the dc side switches are 5KHz. m(t) is the sinusoidal modulation signal. Both Vtri1 and Vtri2 are the two triangular carrier signals. The peak value and frequency of the sinusoidal modulation signal are given as mpeak = 0.8 and fm = 50 Hz, respectively.
